As Tax Payers in the United States of America we are subjected to pay income taxes on our income. Middle Class Wage Earners have always carried the majority of the tax burden of our country and we share our payments to provide a better standard of living for all of the citizens of our beloved country, as such we feel it is only fair for all political candidates, including Mitt Romney to show their income tax returns to prove their dedication to the Values of Fairness and pride of participating in support of our shared values. Make Mitt Romney show his Tax Returns !!!

My family and I live in Rockridge. We and others have systematically surveyed members of the community, and the members of other communities, who hang out with friends, walk and shop along College Avenue. 92% have answered that they oppose Safeway's plan for a three-fold expansion of its store. After hearing of our opposition at five community meetings, Safeway stopped meeting with us and set about imposing their idea about what is best for us. The Berkeley City Council opposes the expansion for the same reason we do: the threatened expansion (1) overrides zoning restriction that limit store size, vehicular congestion and pollution; (2) endangers foot and bicycle traffic on the already heavily-traveled, two lane College Avenue; (3) sabotages twenty five years of neighborhood self-determination; and (4) imperils the small independent businesses that spend their profits in the community. Safeway’s quest for unlimited profits by attracting more vehicular traffic from greater distances, and its refusal to locate in West and East Oakland to serve the needs of residents living in “food deserts,” does not equal the public good. The issue is currently before the Oakland City Council and we need your help.

Corporate news providers (papers and TV-based) are becoming irrelevant to keeping informed. Recently on Sunday newscasts, experienced news people were referring to Paul Ryan's speech (of downright lies) as over reaching. Citizens don't watch the news to listen to euphemisms. We need the media to vigorously target downright lying and other propaganda techniques.

Bring back the "for the common good" clause in corporate charters and enforce it. Require corporations to contribute some percentage of their revenue (e.g. 30%) to their local communities. Enforce substantive penalties for violating their obligation to the public good, up to and including "execution" -- nationalizing the corporation and all its assets, and jailing/executing the officers and directors. Corporations should be held accountable to the public at large, not just their direct shareholders, and profit must not be their only motive to exist.

Inspired by similar efforts at college campuses across the United States, this petition aims to censure Chick-fil-A's discriminatory practices against the LGBT community as well as to foster a more diverse and just campus life at the University of North Florida. According to Student Government President, Carlo Fassi, via The Spinnaker: UNF is looking to spend $700,000.00 to renovate the current Sbarro location for a Chick-fil-A at the University of North Florida. However, the company has spoken openly against LGBT equality and consistently funded groups that seek to curb LGBT rights. In fact, Chick-fil-A has donated over $5 million dollars to anti-gay organizations between 2003 - 2010, supporting groups such as Focus On The Family, Exodus International, and the Family Research Council.

Renters subscribe to carriers vacate homes and if they do not pay a fee of $95.00 it stays forever. In some cases they do not have the money, and in others they are physically unable to remove it themselves. This policy applies to homeowners also. I wrote to the FCC, FTC, (REF # 39429104) and was told unless there was enough interest generated they could not address the problem.

7% 0F THE 1% ARE BUYING THIS ELECTION BECAUSE OF THE SUPREME COURT DECISION IN CITIZENS UNITED. WE ARE NOT UNITED IN THIS

Having worked in a situation that demanded I put up with demeaning and abusive language and actions, I belive that we need laws to protect the workers in the USA from corperations that allow this kind of abuse to go on in the name of the bottom line.

A&P Supermarkets just emerged from bankruptcy. Anyone injured in their stores is being offered five cents on the dollar, a figure which doesn't even pay the medical bills. I am injured for life and facing expensive stem cell treatment, which is not covered by insurance. Thousands of people are in my position.

Wall Street bankers with Ivy League pedigrees can manipulate an $800 trillion interest rate market and destroy the lives and livelihoods of millions of good, hardworking people around the globe, and not go to jail or anything. But if you get caught with a joint, you are thrown in jail and you get a record. Creating a system a more just system ought to be what democracy is about rather than who can plunder the commons. This election season is full of the most cynical and sinister pandering that I have ever seen in my life.

Corporations need to be held accountable for making jobs if they want to continue to recieve tax breaks and call themselves job creators. I have worked for a major corporation for five years and I have watched them cut hours and demand more work every year.

Since corporations are people, they (the executives) should go to jail for negligent homicide for oil disaster and mine disaster deaths etc. People do when they hit someone with a car.
